3.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 51ec04038c113a811b177baa85d293feff9ce995 ]
IPv4 side of the problem was addressed in commit a9e050f4e7f9d
(net: tcp: GRO should be ECN friendly)
This patch does the same, but for IPv6 : A Traffic Class mismatch
doesnt mean flows are different, but instead should force a flush
of previous packets.
This patch removes artificial packet reordering problem.
